1. Conforming to the concept of not conforming.
2. Conforming to to the concept of not fitting in.
3 You say Breaking out and running away from the mould, there would be some sort of rule to make you do that, so conforming to a rule to run away, which fits in wih conforming to the concept of not fitting in.

Don't forget that conformism is also done subconsciously, as people are pushed by the environment and the stimulus around them.

But Will Say I Not Even Knew What The Word Meant "Conformed" Etc Until I Saw It On Here Then Asked Jeeves What It Meaned hahaha.

Cos Be Not Forgetting....When I First Came Here Few Years Time Of Times Now ...I Not Had Learned Many Big English Words....And It Was Here That Someone Said To Me That "I Be A Being Who Does Not "Conform...Follow Rules...Etc Etc Etc......I Off Course Be Not Knowing What That Meaned So I Looked It Up hahahaha.. .And Then Though Yep Ok I Do Not Take Notice Or Am Ruled By Rules...I Dont Wanna Conform Or Be Conformed Etc Etc ..
So I Just Took It As Ok Yep I Be Like That hahaha.

Your Use Of This Word And Saying Conformimg To The Conforming And Conforming To The Concept Of Fitting In ..Kind Muddles Me ..
Because To Me That Means ..
Me "Understanding And Knowimg I Dont Fit In" ...
Because That Is What I Know And Feel And Think Truly ..
So Unless "Conformimg" Means "Understanding" Which I Dont Think It Does ....Then "That What You Say You Think My Words Mean Is "Wrong" hahaha.....Because To Me "Thats NOT "Conforming" Thats Me "Understanding And Knowing And Seeing And Feeling I Dont Fit In " ..

You Think By Me Saying "Breaking Out And Running Away From The Mould " Means Me Breaking Some Kind Of Rule To Make Me Do That....Is "Conformimg To A Rule To Run Away ..Which Fits In With Conforming To The Concept Of Not Fitting In ....Which Again Makes No Sense To Me At All ..Because ..What My Words Said And Say And Mean Are
Me Simply Being Naturally Me...Because I Run Away Turn My Back On That ......Because I Naturally Have Never Had Rules In My Life ...We And Me Are Free Wild And Natural....To Me What You Call "Rules" To Me Means
"Being (CONTROLLED...TRAPPED ..CAGED...ETC" ) So Me And My Kind Would Naturally "Run Away..From And Break Out Free From A Breaker Of Free Spirit Etc" .
So.Its A Natural Fear...A Natural Response .For Me To Run Away .From And .Hide From....As I Would Never Let Mans World ..Break Me...Control Me...Cage Me Etc ...By Mans World To Fit In ...That Is What "Rules" Means To Me And My Kind ....So NO It Has Nothing To Do With "Conforming" Etc Etc As You Say It ....And My Words Again Had Nothing And Is Nothing To Do With "Conforming" Etc My Words Meant As Said "Running Away ..Breaking Free And Out Of Being Caged...Being Trapped...Being Broken Of Spirit...and Controll To Be Accepted To Fit In......So Noooo Never Would I Want That Or Need That ..And I Dont Want To Fit In ...Because I Can NEVER EVER Be Caged And Controlled And Broken Spirit By "RULES" ...So I Run Away And Turn My Back And Break Out Of Any Mould That I Was Tried To Be Trapped And Caged In .....So I Think Again You Have Mis Understood My Thinking Way And Words As It Never Would Or Could Be Meaning What You Said...Because I FEAR "Rules" As I Was And Had Been Caged And Controlled By Another And Was Beaten And Battered And Bones Broken ..Because I Would Never Follow His "Rules And Conform" To His Ways.....No Matter The Cage And Mould He Trapped Me In ...I Broke Out And Run Run ..Finally One Day .....So Rules To Me Means FEAR Control And Broken Spirit ...So Naturally I Run Away ...As I Will Never Be Caught And Caged Ever And Controlled Cos I Did Not Then And Would Never Do Now Either ..No Matter How Alone And Not Fitting In I Would Be ...Because I Dont Want To Fit In ..Because I Am Naturally Me And Happy Me ..I Dont Need Others Or Anybody To Fit In ....
So I Was Never Talking Or Meaning About Conforming And Conforming To Rules Or Conformimg To The Concept Of Fitting In ....I Was Simply Running And Breaking Away And Out Of Any Mould That Is Trying To Catch And Cage And Control Me. ...Thats What I Meaned.

And To Me "Rule Breaker" Is Not A "Label" It To Me Simply Is A Man Made English Word ...That Describes Something That Breaks Rules..Be It A Person Or Something Else ...That Breaks Rules....So To Me That Is Wrong Also...Because As I Just Told You " Its NOT A Label" Nope ..To Me "Its Simply An English Man Made Word ..The English People Use To Describe Something That Breaks Rules .....That Is All I See It As ..And Mean When I Use That Word ...So That People Can Understand What I Am Saying Or Meaning ....Its Just A Simple "Word" Only To Me.

So I Am Not "Trying To Hard To Conform At Not Conformimg" ....Because ...You Thought You Knew What I Was Saying And Meaning When You Did Not Understand My Thinking Or My Words True Meaning ....Because All My Words Are Just Me Naturally Simply Being Me ...And Your English Words And There Meanings Do NOT Mean The Same To Me ..As They Do To You And Most English People ....Because You And They Are NOT Me ...So You Cannot Truly Know What I Mean ...You Can Only THINK ..You Know What They Mean .... And Your Words Were Wrong And Your Thinking Was Wrong What You Wrote Above About Me Cos That Is And Was Not My Thinking Me Or My Thinking Words..Nope They Were Your Thinking Words Of Me ... And Not Mine .
But It Was Very Interesting Reading Them ...Because It Shows How Ibviously My Way Or Writing And Thinking Of What They Meaned Must Be Very Muddling To Read ....Because It Was So Wrong And Not What I Was Thinking Or Saying Or Meaning To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater.

Some of you appear to be forgetting that in order to conform to anything, you must first define that to which you will be conforming.
This also holds for non-conforming; you must first define that to which you do not conform, in order to be able not to conform to it.

The word 'Rules' means something quite different to what is stated above. Rules tend to be a generally-recognised or prescribed set of principles within a given context. So we cannot say that an individual is conforming to a rule unless the rule is generally-recognised by a given number of people in a given context.

Hence you cannot conform to a rule of running away from something, unless there is a generally-recognised principle, in a given context, of people running away. If there is not, it cannot be defined as a rule.

Soooo True ....Very True ...Because "Rules" Are So Totally Different .. And Can Be Seen And Thought Off In Sooo Many Ways And Sooo Many Different Ways To Each Person To Person...And Be Seen And Felt Like A Rule To That Person.

As One Person Might See it And Feel It As A Rule ...
And Another Person May Not See It Or Feel It As A Rule.

And So To Conform Or Break To A Rule ...You Have To See It And Feel It And Recognise And Understand It As A "Rule" In The First Place . ...Well Thats What I Think In My Head Too.

What does a hippy look like ? .... cause when i grew up it was more or less anyone who didnt wear regulation clothes or a monkey suit and sport a military style haircut.

I wear whats comfortable and practical and i got long hair n beard...no idea if that qualifies me in the hippy club - who cares..and in any case if theres a particular hippy style isnt that counter to.what a hippy is supposed to be ?

Hebridean at heart..everywhere else is just somewhere on the way back there...

I like my own style, and I dress how I feel. If I have jeans and plain top day, I wear it. If I feel like a girl from the fields, I wear my long dress and espadrilles, but most of the time I am on my bicycle, with two sacks on sides, hiding all my stuff or shopping from local small Indian shops. I have a two or three pairs of high heels, which I wore once and they will end up on eBay soon. My hair rarely see a hairdresser, I let them grow long, and only when I feel I start moping the floor with them I would just go to local Nepalese girls for a haircut, which is always boring, haha.
I have this need once or twice a year to wear my ehtnic jewellery, or harem pants, but again, this is just how I feel at a certain time.

I am thinkin and thinking how others might see me, and I think it's mostly bike leggings, trainers, and hi vi vest To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Remind me, what do hippies look like? Tie dye? Flares? Headband? Dreads?
No to all the above. Currently I am in cargo shorts, t shirt, steel toe capped boots, hoodie, none of which I paid for (recycling finds). I
Vanman bought me a nice t shirt for my birthday. Before that, the last new thing I bought was new boots three years ago. I don't waste money on clothes.
Also, I would far rather go to the dentist than the hairdresser..... To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Whether That Be Clothes ..Look...Speach...Thinking..
Love..Peace Happiness Etc Etc Etc ...
Yep "Hippy Is FREE Spirit/FREEDOM"
To Do As We Will And As We Choose .As We Feel ..As We Think And As We Be In "ALL THINGS"...Etc Etc Etc ...To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

I would still nic the car, just not the kids, too much trouble trying to move them on. Everything goes well when displaying them for sale, until the punter checks their teeth. Then they say "English"? "No thanks" constant whining from English teenagers and "I want this and that" idle fks just wanna play computer games and bury their heads in smartphones. Markets still good for Scottish young blood and teenagers with learning disabilities. Training is a challenge they say, but positive reinforcement does wonders with repetitive jobs.
